Just so everyone knows, when they send form letter emails to the Gov't they are going to get deleted and especially if you aren't sending them to the correct address.
I just deleted over 1000 form letter emails from concerned citizens regarding the recent Ab Education strike after noting the number received and responding to one telling her it was not the correct email address for her complaint.
If you are hoping for a response from any government official, I would write a letter by hand and make sure to include all of your contact information. Bombing my volunteer email will get them deleted after a general count.

“It didn't actually work out the way they anticipated,” Smith said of...
From Betty McIvor’s Facebook pages:
“Danielle Smith’s rise to Premier was built on one important promise: Alberta would stop asking Ottawa for permission.
Her leadership campaign had energy because it spoke directly to a frustrated province. The phrases were clear, forceful and memorable: the “Alberta Sovereignty Act”, “Alberta as a senior partner in Canada”, and a government that would “stand up to Ottawa for what is right for Alberta”.
After a decade of federal hostility toward pipelines, firearms owners, resource development, equalisation, tanker bans, carbon taxes and endless regulatory delay, many Albertans believed Smith understood the moment.
She was elected to push back. She was not elected to manage Alberta’s decline more efficiently.
That is why the political shift now underway is dangerous for her. The issue is not simply that some Albertans disagree with her. That is normal. The problem is that many of the people who once saw her as Alberta’s strongest defender now see a Premier drifting back toward ...
